played with alan,great player but unfortunately struggled with injurys later on in career.have know doubt he'll make a great manager aswell.will have no prob attracting plyers,after all their not a club in decline but the league champs.gaz leaving wouldn,t make any sense,no link to midleton and played in majority of big games last year.ray leahy to be alans no 2 with derek clarke still taking training.dave ahern will lend a hand also but will be playing one more year.rockmount in safe hands

pretty sure clarkey will be his no.2. gareth will sign with rockmount and i dont think the two lads will retire. heard that martin said its same again minus kinger n darren with the addition of gareth.

he has been around billy for over a decade so will have seen and done it all.

ya he was a great player won everything,but he was a two club man he spend a short spell at college cor the season before he retired then returned to rockmount as part of the management team.roy keane was around the greatest manager in english soccer and it didn't help his manager career did it,lol

billy cronin was like a snake charmer ,he use to get players under his spell and get them to sign,the man was brilliant at it,i don't know how he got so many players to sign for him over the years.i meet alan martin a few times very nice guy but i don't know if he has the same snake charm billy cronin has,in saying that not many managers in the league have it either.i wish the guy all the best but his got big big boots to fill.as regarding signing for us the manager is talking to a few players but i can't say who just yet,and as far as i know all of this seasons squad or coming back next season

Alan carey linked with avondale. Also brendan o connell could be making a return.

Fair play to cotter for turning around Avondale.now there is a man and manager that players respect and will want to play for.no intimidation tactics from him or his staff during matches.
